Aoun: We negotiate for ourselves
President Joseph Aoun stressed Monday that Lebanon would negotiate for itself regarding the conflict with Israel.
"We negotiate for ourselves, and we do not accept any other party doing so for us," Aoun said.
"We welcome any assistance that comes from any country to end the war, particularly as the situation in the region is interconnected," he added.
"But there is a big difference between trying to help us and interfering in our internal affairs," he said, alluding to Iran, which through Hezbollah has long wielded significant political influence in Lebanon.
